11、E SUPERSEDEDAS / NZS 1851.13:1995 2PREFACEThis Standard was prepared by the Joint Standards Australia/Standards New ZealandCommittee FP/3 on Fire Extinguishers as part of the series of AS 1851, Maintenance of fireprotection equipment.The object of this Standard is to provide a specific maintenance r
12、egime for wheeled fireextinguishers in which the extinguishant can be expelled either by gas stored under pressurein the cylinder of the extinguisher or by the release of gas from a compressed gas container.This Standard contains a maintenance schedule table set on a time-elapsed basis and range,ref
13、erred to as the following levels:Level 1 Six-monthly.Level 2 Yearly.Level 3 Three-yearly.Level 4 Five-yearly for New Zealand and six yearly for Australia.Level 5 After use.In New Zealand, pressure testing of all fire extinguishers over 500 mL in water capacity mustbe carried out at an approved test
14、station in accordance with the requirements of theNew Zealand Dangerous Goods Regulations (Class 2 Gases) and the Department of Labourpublication Guide to Gas Cylinders.The testing revolves around a five-yearly test cycle once the extinguisher is five years of ageand has been discharged. This rule a
15、lso applies to compressed gas containers.

This

29、D LOCATION OF FIRE EXTINGUISHERS2.1.1 General Every extinguisher shall bear a permanently fixed, unique, siteidentification mark, suitable for cross referencing with maintenance records. The mark mayconsist of the following:(a) Written numbers, letters or a combination of both.(b) Barcode.(c) Magnet
30、ic or electronic strip or similar, e.g. smart chip.2.1.2 Location Where there are more than 10 extinguishers located in or on a property,the type, size, rating, location and identification of wheeled fire extinguishers in or on aproperty shall be recorded either on a site plan or other means clearly
31、 describing theextinguishers and the location.2.1.3 Records A maintenance record system shall be provided by the property owner oroccupier to sequentially record maintenance carried out on fire extinguishers and shall containthe following:(a) Type of extinguisher, i.e water, foam.(b) Date of manufac
32、ture.(c) Record of the last level 1, 2, 3, and 5 service.(d) Any defects and remedial action.(e) Record of missing or misplaced extinguishers or any other applicable comments.A maintenance record system may take the form of (a) log book;(b) computer-based record system; or(c) Any other permanent rec
33、ord system that is capable of easy interpretation or generallyeasily interpreted reports and is to be cross referenced against an individualextinguisher.The maintenance record shall be available for the property at all times. Where a log book isused, it shall be substantially bound and not in a loos
34、e-leaf format, and shall have numberedpages in triplicate. The log book shall include the signature of the owner, agent or serviceperson and have a required distribution of copies printed on each page, as follows:(a) Original owner/occupier/agent.(b) Duplicateservice person.(c) Triplicate retain in

40、astes. Legislation, controlling the transfer,handling, storage, sale and ownership of halon, exists in most Australian States. In NewZealand it is an offence under the Ozone Layer Protection Act to release controlledsubstances such as halons, into the atmosphere while installing, servicing, modifyin
41、g, testingor dismantling a fire extinguisher. In disposing of waste material, individuals or organizationsservicing fire extinguishers should familiarize themselves with the applicable legislation andensure that this is complied with.2.2 INSPECTION AND SERVICE2.2.1 Classification For maintenance rec
42、ord tag purposes, maintenance work involvinginspection and servicing shall be classified according to inspection and service intervals (seeClause 2.2.2) as follows:(a) The number 1 shall denote six-monthly intervals.(b) The number 2 shall denote yearly intervals.(c) The number 3 shall denote three-y
43、early intervals.(d) The number 4 shall denote five-yearly intervals in New Zealand and six-yearlyintervals in Australia (see Clause 2.2.2).(e) The number 5 shall denote after-use procedures.2.2.2 Periodicity of maintenance procedures The periodicity of the different intervalsof maintenance of exting
44、uishers shall be as set out in the appropriate maintenance schedulesin Section 3 and is referred to as levels 1 to 5. Following the initial maintenance interval, asgiven above, the normal intervals of maintenance shall apply.Commencement of the maintenance schedules, given in Section 3, shall be bas
45、ed on themonth and year of charging the extinguisher, or the month and year of the last pressure test,whichever is the later. If the month and year of manufacture or last pressure test is unknown,a Level 4 maintenance procedure shall be applied to the extinguisher.Where the maintenance status of an
46、extinguisher cannot be reliably re-established, a Level 4maintenance procedure shall be carried out on the extinguisher and recorded in accordancewith the appropriate requirements of this Section.2.2.3 Additional maintenance procedures2.2.3.1 Aggressive environment Unless protected from the effects
47、of an aggressiveenvironment, extinguishers located in such environments shall be subject to a morecomprehensive maintenance schedule by conducting a Level 4 inspection every three yearsas set out in Section 3 (see Table 3.1).Aggressive service environments include these defined by the regulatory aut
48、hority or asfollows:(a) Exterior situations exposed to the sun, ultraviolet radiation, wind, rain or salt spray.(b) Corrosive atmospheres.(c) Dusty or moisture-laden atmospheres.(d) Environments which subject the extinguisher to continuous or intense vibrations.(e) Environments having extremes of te
49、mperature.2.2.3.2 Organic lining Where any cylinder lining is found, upon routine examination, tobe suspect as to its soundness, it shall be subjected to a continuity test carried out inaccordance with AS 1841.1 and in any case at least every Level 4 service.COPYRIGHTAccessed by ISONET - CHINA STATE BUREAU OF TECHNICAL SUPERVIS on 28 Feb 2006 AVAILABLE SUPERSEDEDAS/NZS 1851.13:1995 82.2.3.3 Water quality In some areas, the water supply, while fit for human consumption,may be unsatisfactory for prolonged contact, under pressure, with water-t
